Verify Admob with app-ads.txt

Hello I published an app on ios and android but I can’t verify the admob integration- https://www.nocodo.it/app-ads.txt- what’s best way to do this? I created a new page called app-ads.txt and inserted there the text file but if I click on this link again https://www.nocodo.it/app-ads.txt I’m redirected to the 404 page. anybody knows how to solve this? i saw this tutorial LMS | Redirect to ads.txt (LMS | Redirect to ads.txt) but what does it mean I should create a website a part of my nocodo.it and point it to the new website created with ads.txt? Thanks


Here is my site Read-Only: LINK

Where are you stuck?

In most cases for verification files, I use a reverse proxy to deliver them, as many verification files won’t work with a redirect.

However you can try the redirect approach first- you’d prepare and upload your TXT file, and then create a redirect from /app-ads.txt to your uploaded file URL.

Hi, thanks for your help but what do you mean exactly? If I have www.nocodo.it and add one new page like www.nocodo.it/app-ads.txt then I have you insert in to redirect the first link www.nocodo.it and then www.nocodo.it/app-ads.txt ? For the reverse proxy you have any tutorial? Thanks

No you can’t create a page with that name- did you follow the video that you shared? You create your file, upload it to assets, get the URL, and then create a redirect to that asset URL. It’s done step by step in the video.

No I haven’t created any tutorials on that, reverse proxies are quite custom so I build each one individually for clients. You can search this forum for some tutorials, or Finsweet has one for Finsweet Plus members. It may be on their youtube channel.

Thanks for your support but the tutorial explain how to create the app-ads.txt separatly, so what I have to do is to create a new project and fullow the tutorial and make the redirect, but after how Can I point my website to the new project? Thanks

By the way to do this I have to pay again for the hosting just to make the redirect?

Redirects are a feature of every Webflow site hosting plan.

I think Webflow should find a reasonable solution to this. Paying double for the same site is ridiculous.

How much do you ask to set this?

I don’t know why you’re wanting to pay double?
You have one site, so you only need one site plan.

The video you shared actually covers exactly what you need for the redirect approach. I can help you with that, it’s quick work, you could buy me a beer.

However as I said, in my experience redirecting often doesn’t work for verification files, and it has never worked for me with Google Adsense ( different product, using ads.txt, but otherwise similar ). If you needed a reverse proxy that’s a lot more work, it usually takes a couple of hours to setup and test fully.

Either way you can direct message me if you need some work done.

Thanks Michael, do you have an email so I can write you directly? :grinning:

Good morning Michael, thanks a lot for your help and I solve it, I followed the tutorial again and just dropped the file in to my website, did the redirect and it works after night :grinning: have a nice day
